A free little tomato plant from our neighbour.

Yesterday I gave the kids across the street a bag of my old scraps of material. Today they sent me photos of the things they’ve made, including an old dress remade into a new dress for one of the little ones.
Working with Gerry. He’s funny. And sweet too.
